If you’re unsatisfied with the air conditioning in your home, then consider upgrading your current air conditioning with a zone control system. This is a great way to establish a truly efficient air conditioning system for your home that will save you money and keep you comfortable in any room of the house.
- Precise Control
A zone control system works with your single air conditioning unit to maintain the temperature of different areas inside your home. This can maximize efficiency by keeping unused rooms at a higher temperature than the rooms you frequent. You can also enjoy even cooling throughout your entire home, eliminating heat from rooms that were too warm in the past.
- Individual Comfort
With zone control installed on your air conditioning system, you will have a happy kid, pet, and spouse who all enjoy individual levels of cooling. You can cool the bedrooms at night while warming other parts of your home a few degrees—this allows you to enjoy a comfortable sleep and not waste energy. If your children prefer warmer temperatures, then you can customize the atmosphere for each room of the home.
- Reduced Energy Bills
Homeowners can customize which zones receive cooling, so your air conditioning system will operate at maximum efficiency. Individual thermostats in each zone of your home report back to the air conditioning unit instead of a single central thermostat. Your air conditioner will instantly know what rooms need a little extra cooling and regulate your comfort zone. More efficient energy usage means lower utility bills.
At Aire Serv Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc., we install, service, and repair zone-controlled air conditioning systems from top brands. Call us at (800) 483-5813 to learn more about zoning, or visit our website to see what our systems can do for the comfort of every member in your family.

Cooling your home the green way is easy to do when you have an efficient air conditioning system. Help your own AC be even more efficient with these great tips:
- Stay on top of air conditioning maintenance
Proper maintenance of your AC unit will keep it running smoothly and at its highest level of efficiency. When your air conditioning unit is in need of a repair or tune-up, it isn’t operating at peak efficiency. An inefficient air conditioning system can make a big difference in both your comfort level and utility bill.
- Use high-efficiency AC upgrades
With energy-efficient air conditioners approved by Energy Star, you will watch your utility bills drop to a third of their previous costs.
- Pick the right air conditioning system and components
An air conditioning specialist can help you get the most out of your AC by finding the right-sized system for your home. An air conditioner that’s too large will be just as bad for efficiency and energy costs as one that is too small.
- Keep your filters cleaned and replaced regularly
Dirty air filters are one of the top reasons for decreased efficiency in your air conditioning system and air quality. Follow your manufacturer’s instructions on cleaning your air filters, or replace them when they become clogged. After an especially dusty season, check your filters to ensure they are clean and clear of dirt.
- Close windows and doors
An air conditioner works best in a sealed system. If you enter and exit your home frequently or leave windows and doors ajar, then the cool inside air escapes, allowing warmer air indoors. This causes your air conditioner to run constantly, struggling to cool your home.

One simple step you can make towards a more “green” home is with your air conditioning system.“Most air conditioning and heating systems consume more than half of a home’s energy,” said Doyle James, president of Aire Serv Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. “By switching over to a new energy efficient system, families can cut their monthly usage of fossil fuel-generated electricity by up to one-third. That means saving money and helping the environment without sacrificing comfort.”
Rising utility and overall energy costs are concerns for most homeowners today. Fortunately, you can save money while being “greener” and stay comfortable.
Rising utility and overall energy costs are concerns for most homeowners today. Fortunately, you can save money while being “greener” and stay comfortable. Follow these recommendations from Aire Serv to create a more “green”, energy efficient home:
- Smart Thermostat: Install programmable thermostats that adjust the temperature when home or away. Why keep your house cool when nobody is home?
- Filtration: Use high efficiency air filters to help your air conditioning system stay cleaner longer and use less energy to keep you cool.
- Go Green: Plant trees or shrubs to shade the air conditioning unit, but not so close that they block air flow.
- Maintenance: Have your professional air conditioning provider clean your units coils regularly – about every six months – to prevent dirt and dust build-up.
- Insulate: Check the attic, crawl space or basement to make sure it’s properly insulated. This will help conserve electricity and reduce your home’s energy demands.
- Upgrade: Look for a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) number on air conditioners if installing a new unit. Some units manufactured about 10 years ago were in the 10 SEER range while units today can go as high as 20 SEER or above. Going from a 10 to 20 SEER can cut your cooling costs in half.
- Recycle: If installing a new HVAC unit, consider donation or recycling. A unit in working order can be donated and non-functioning pieces contain recyclable copper and aluminum. Contact your utility company or visit earth911.com for more local options on how you can recycle your old unit.
